A day at the State Fair

We go to the fair every year to take in all the wonderful sights and sounds....and you guessed it: FOODS! (I mostly go to see if any of my pictures earned any ribbons...and for the food.)
One of my picture entries this year was of my niece, Emma. I got an honorable mention.

After we checked that out as well as Victoria's quilt - we headed to the regular haunts. We always visit the Hands on Farm exhibit. The girls love it every year.



We then went and bought our tickets to go down the big yellow slide. Then it rained. After getting a full refund and a couple of sad faces, we headed over to another area. The girls each got 3 tries for a hole in one & Christianna actually got one!


We stopped by the news station tent - it started to rain again pretty hard - and got some pictures there.


What is a trip to the fair without visiting all the cute stinky farm animals. This one goat was really loving Christianna & her balloon.

This video is of that crazy goat.

Throughout the evening it was raining off and on. We still had a great time. At one point we caught a glimpse of this rainbow.

I think the wet grounds make the pictures neater. Chris & the girls are walking just ahead of me in this one.

It was about time to leave and with the rain, not all the rides were working...so we had them choose one to go on before we left. They chose the fun house.

They should really make these things bigger - or else charge a lot less for it! They were out in under a minute!
